Scout report
I. Sangaré is a 28-year-old central midfielder at Nottingham Forest, rated 60.6 overall by Field Insider's model, ranking 255th of 376 on scout potential in the Premier League. An experienced operator, he has been a regular starter this season (74.6% of available minutes). His defensive output reads 4.5 tackles, blocks and interceptions per 90. Below: strengths, watch-points, market-value outlook and the latest transfer news on Sangaré.
Judged on this season alone, Sangaré graded 49 — a strong campaign that ranks top 23% of the 35 central midfielders in the Premier League, on 2 goals, 2 assists and 4.5 defensive actions per 90.
Year-on-year, that's a clear step up on last season (Season 12 → 49). Over the 6 seasons on record his form has trended upward, peaking in 2021/22.
On long-term talent our Rating reads 61, 26th of 35 of the 35 central midfielders in the Premier League. At 28 Sangaré is in his prime years, and a market index of 59.2 reflects that trajectory.
Read the appearance count in context: Sangaré missed 7 games through injury (international duty, injury) out of roughly 38 this season. The 28 he did play is a solid return on the time he was fit, and his ratings are weighted toward those games rather than the ones he sat out injured.
Below his 2021/22 peak but holding a solid level — the platform for a return is there.
Output in context · Nottingham Forest finished 16th of 20 · a lower-table side
4.5 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — solid defensive volume, with 5 clean sheets across 28 appearances. Doing that for a lower-table side (16th of 20) is harder than the bare numbers suggest: a back line under more pressure has to defend more often and protects fewer leads, so the volume — and any clean sheets — carry real weight. Going forward he chipped in 2 goals and 2 assists — a useful bonus from the back.
Strengths
- Availability. On the pitch for 74.6% of available minutes — a dependable presence in the XI.
- Attacking threat. Chips in from deep: 0.17 goal involvements per 90, useful for a central midfielder.
- Defensive volume. 4.5 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — does the unseen work.
- Pedigree. Performing in a top-tier setting (team strength 92.1/100).
Watch points
- Few red flags. No obvious weaknesses in the current-season profile — consistency is the next test.
Outlook
With a Rating of 60.6, Sangaré carries the 26th-highest potential of the central midfielders in the Premier League of 35, and he is posting that for a lower-table side (Nottingham Forest finished 16th of 20) — individual numbers are harder to earn on a struggling team, so his underlying level likely sits a touch above the ranking. Defensively he reads as solid defensive volume (4.5 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90). Experienced and reliable, but the value curve is easing (1.2× now → 0.9× projected in three years). Doing it for a lesser side, he profiles as a value buy for a club higher up the table.
